That's what I mean Trump won a couple of blue areas of Texas. That alone keeping Trump's message and my predictions that many maga people who live in blue states will be moving to Texas and Florida. That Texas can still be maintained as a red state.I agree overall. Trump’s Republican Party is literally exactly what strategists analyzing Romney’s loss were begging for; more minorities, more engagement with low propensity working class voters and high enthusiasm. He just got there by a class based message; one that’s tied to his brand now, for better or worse.
The untold story of the 2020 election was how the “‘most racist president in history” carried, for a Republican anyway, historic proportions of the black and Hispanic votes. Even in urban strongholds and ancestrally dem voting areas of West Texas. McConnell is a literal fool if he thinks he can jettison Trump wholesale and still keep his coalition, and could only be stupider if he thinks that the GOP doesn’t need that broader coalition to have even the barest fucking prayer of keeping the party relevant over the next few decades.
Stuffy suburbanites broke for Biden because they were most susceptible to the media social desirability campaign. People who were already marginalized social outsiders turned out for Trump in droves.
People talk about how the Dem’s are in a position of power, and they really are. They’re going to fight election integrity and force through as many rule changes as possible to secure 2022 and 2024, but the Covid mail-in surge did not create permanent DNC voters, and now that the Trump spell is broken and moderates and soft left leaners realize that they just voted in the consummate corporate puppet, there’s a huge chunk of people up for play who could be swayed by a populist message. People close to me not one week after the election literally fucking apologized for voting Biden, once they saw him stack his cabinet with corporate board members. The way through to those people is not bending over for the corporate/political establishment, like McConnell is doing, even if it’s the only thing he knows how to do.
People who hate Trump aren’t going to like you just for distancing yourself from him. They still fucking hate you. There is no need to be so public about it. It’s not as hard as McConnell thinks to appeal to the people who didn’t care for Trump while keeping the people that Trump brought into the fold, but he’s determined to fuck it up. That, and the people writing his checks are literally doing everything in their power to keep someone like Trump, but less abrasive from winning power.
Ohio and Florida becuase of Trump are morphing from purple states to full on red states.
That's what I mean McConnell is a retard if he thinks he can just throw all of Trump's hardwork and accomplishments away. That his party will still be strong for elections.
